The journal Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory provides a forum for original, high-quality papers dealing with any aspect of systems simulation and modelling. The journal aims at being a reference and a powerful tool to all those professionally active and/or interested in the methods and applications of simulation. Submitted papers will be peer reviewed and must significantly contribute to modelling and simulation in general or use modelling and simulation in application areas. Paper submission is solicited on: • theoretical aspects of modelling and simulation including formal modelling, model-checking, random number generators, sensitivity analysis, variance reduction techniques, experimental design, meta-modelling, methods and algorithms for validation and verification, selection and comparison procedures etc.; • methodology and application of modelling and simulation in any area, including computer systems, networks, real-time and embedded systems, mobile and intelligent agents, manufacturing and transportation systems, management, engineering, biomedical engineering, blockchains, artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), education, transaction handling, etc.; • simulation languages and environments including those, specific to distributed computing, cloud, fog and edge computing, high performance computers or computer networks, etc.; • distributed and real-time simulation, simulation interoperability; • tools for high performance computing simulation, including dedicated architectures and parallel computing. Papers covering applications should be presented in such a way that the separate steps in the process, such as model development, computer implementation of the derived model, mathematical and scalability problems encountered and validation/verification with real data become transparent to all readers. Theory may play an important role in a paper, but it should be presented in the context of its applicability to the work being described. For application-oriented readers it is essential that theoretical papers should cover the following aspects: why the theory is relevant and how it can be applied, what is the novelty of the approach and what are the benefits and objectives of a new theory, method or algorithm; what experience has been obtained in applying the approach and what innovations did result. (Variations from these prototypes, such as comprehensive surveys of active research areas, critical reviews of existing work, and book reviews, will be considered provided they make a clear contribution to the field.) Special issues on specific topics will be published from time to time; proposals for such issues are invited.

Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of journals from around the world. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.
Considering the physical, and psychological impacts and challenges brought about the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), art therapy (AT) provides opportunities to promote human health and well-being. There are few systematic analysis studies in the fields of AT, which can provide content and direction for the potential value and impact of AT. Therefore, this paper aims to critically analyze the published work in the field of AT from the perspective of promoting health and well-being, and provides insights into current research status, hotspots, limitations, and future development trends of AT. This paper adopts a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative analysis including bibliometric analysis and keyword co-occurrence analysis. The results indicate that: (1) the current studies on AT are mostly related to research and therapeutic methods, types of AT, research populations and diseases, and evaluation of therapeutic effect of AT. The research method of AT mainly adopts qualitative research, among which creative arts therapy and group AT are common types of AT, and its main research populations are children, veterans, and adolescents. AT-aided diseases are trauma, depression, psychosis, dementia, and cancer. In addition, the therapeutic methods are mainly related to psychotherapy, drama, music, and dance/movement. Further, computer systems are an important evaluation tool in the research of AT; (2) the future development trend of AT-aided health and well-being based on research hotspots, could be focused on children, schizophrenia, well-being, mental health, palliative care, veterans, and the elderly within the context of addressing COVID-19 challenges; and (3) future AT-aided health and well-being could pay more attention to innovate and integrate the therapeutic methods of behavior, movement, and technology, such as virtual reality and remote supervision.

In December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) broke out in Wuhan, China. With the rapid spread of the new crown virus, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 epidemic as a public health emergency of international concern on 30 January 2020 [1]. The spread of the COVID-19 across countries globally has brought unprecedented challenges to all walks of life, such as the international public health, trade, economic, and education systems, which influence the well-being of human society [2]. In addition, the COVID-19 has negatively affected the global service and manufacturing industry [3], and caused commercial stagnation, especially in the tourism, hotel, education, retail, and health sectors [4]. Further, in order to overcome this global threat, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the WHO proposes to adopt preventive measures, such as social distancing, washing hands, and wearing masks, and isolation policy to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 [5]. However, the isolation policy that restricts people’s movement not only has a significant impact on the economy, environment, and society [6], but also increases the symptoms of people’s post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and feelings of confusion, loneliness, boredom, and anger in the psychological field [7]. For example, under the influence of the epidemic, some children and adolescents have developed anxiety, depression, sleep and appetite disorders, and social difficulties [8], and the elderly become lonelier and more fearful [9]. In short, faced with the sudden COVID-19 and respective confinements and lockdowns, not only have society and the economy been affected, but for people across the world, noticeable impacts on people’s mental and physical health have been created. Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being, such as anxiety, life pressure, depression, and suicide. Hence, therapy methods provide mental health patients with tools to identify and solve problems that arise from life stressors.
Among the many non-drug treatments, art therapy (AT) is a comprehensive treatment that uses psychotherapy [10] and artistic creation processes [11], such as drama, music, dance movements, and drawing to promote health and well-being. In addition, AT is a non-verbal intervention [12, 13, 14], which can aid mental disorders affecting people across all ages through the intermediary of art [15, 16]. AT, as an expression therapy, can bring many benefits, such as encouraging communication and expressing emotions [17], promoting emotional catharsis and experiencing positive emotions [18], increasing positive behaviors [19], and improving the quality of life of patients [20, 21, 22] and their self-esteem [23, 24, 25]. The art creation process of AT provides a medium through which different realities, attitudes, and feelings can be expressed, examined, and tried [26]. It enables individuals to use art to express themselves creatively [27]. Thus, AT plays a positive role in alleviating many mental and physical
